THIS IS IT

'There's a rumor that the Corona Virus started in a Chinese lab...

Conspiracy theorists have conjected the lab is the origin of the Covid-19 Corona Virus outbreak.

There are two main versions of the rumor, and they have one common thread: that the Corona Virus SARS-COV-2, originated in a level 4 (the highest biosafety level) research laboratory in Wuhan.

In one version of the rumor, the Virus was engineered in a lab by humans as a 'bio weapon.'

In another version, the Virus was being studied in a lab (after being isolated from animals) and then 'escaped' or 'leaked' because of poor safety protocol.

The Wuhan Institute of Virology is a real place and the exact origin of the novel Corona Virus is still a mystery, with researchers racing since the outbreak began to figure it out.

But already, Virologist who've parsed the genome and infections disease experts who study Corona Virus is brand new and came from nature.

The emergence of the Virus in the same city as China's only level 4 biosafety lab, it turns out, appears to be pure coincidence...'

"And here's the latest scoop from yours truly, Amanda Brown from the only Conspiracy debunking TV channel."

Aria sighed as she turned off the antique TV.

She groaned into her pillow.

'So which was it?'

Being a Conspiracy Theory debunker, it's been her goal for a while now—roughly seven years—to always seek out the truth.

The real truth.

And not the bull the U.S government gave the public to make them none the wiser.

She stood and stretched, her long hair falling in waves behind her back.

She looked down at her outfit—she was in a boxer brief and blue tank top.

She looked around her apartment—it was messy.

It looked as if a bomb had exploded in it the night before.

She sighed for like the umpteenth time that day.

It was time to get cleaning.

***

She raced out of her small but homy apartment still struggling to put on her left shoe.

'Blast it!'

She had to catch the train to downtown, she had a reliable source waiting for her there.

She was a journalist, but she flew solo and the only reason being she hates attachments.

But the most insecure part of her knew it was because she was afraid of getting hurt, by people, so she surrounded herself with steels that was practically impenetrable.

In ten minutes, she reached her destination.

She followed religiously the coordinates sent to her and she found herself in front of an abandoned looking house.

She closed the door to the cab and immediately it zoomed off.

She looked around and saw nothing but trees.

The house looked intimidating and her doubts began to grow.

She swallowed and buried her hands deep into her pocket and headed in.

She got in.

"Hello." She called out as she walked tentatively through the house.

She was greeted with silence.

Suddenly, she felt strong arms grab her into a room.

Aria was already prepared to go 'Kung Fu Panda' on their ass, when she heard a familiar voice speak.

"Shhh."

She turned around to face her captor.

"Bryan?"

Said person pulled their hoodie to reveal a handsome face. His blue-green eyes stared into hers and her heart raced.

Aria cursed herself for allowing herself be affected by him.

She freed herself from his hold, putting her game face on.

"What was so urgent you had to pick this crappy location?"

"Keep your voice down Aria." He told her in a whisper.

But she ignored him.

"I just got off a call from Antonio. What's all this bull about 5G? Another conspiracy theory. The Corona Virus being a cover up for the death it supposedly caused?"

He walked up to her and grabbed both her arms firmly staring into her eyes.

For the very first time she got there, she noticed the pure panic and fear in them.

"Bryan?" She whispered.

"None of that matters. None of that'll matter in a few months Aria." He let her go rather harshly and she watched him confused as he paced through the fairly dark room running a shaky hand through his hair.

Aria looked around and realised the interior of the house was much worse than its exterior. Dust covered everywhere.

"Will you calm down and talk to me?"

He took several calming breathes before turning to face her.

"The breach in Wuhan, the Corona Virus, 5G and all the other conspiracy theories is all a front Aria."

"A distraction from an even bigger threat that could lead to the destruction of mankind as we know it." He started.

"What do you mean?" Aria was still very confused.

Aria's eyes caught briefly, the crucifix he always wore around his neck.

Ever since she'd known him, he was a devoted Christian, always wanting to do the right thing, that was why he became a reporter in the first place.

And that was also what led to their break up in the first place.

Apparently, he'd wanted to wait and she had wanted to take things to the next level.

Feeling rejected, she'd broken things off with him.

He'd claimed it was against his beliefs.

She'd called Bull.

He now stood staring into her eyes and she'd never seen him look so hopeless before.

"God showed me Aria." He whispered.

Her palms began to sweat and her throat became dry.

She knew whatever he had to say would be the truth.

When she'd said he was a Christian, she'd meant he had the gifts as well, though she'd tried to tell herself otherwise.

"The Beast is here." He said.

'What?'

Aria's eyes widened.

"You don't mean–" He nodded as her voice died off.

Her hands began to tremble and in that instant, Aria vaguely recalled vaguely the dreams she'd also been having recently, about the end of the world.

The Beast, the False Prophet....

She hadn't told anyone about it.

Aria looked back up at him, feeling more scared than she'd ever been in her entire life.

Then she'd told him about her dreams, seeing how he was telling her the same truth, that must mean there was an iota of truth in what he was saying...or they could just both be going crazy....

"Take my hand Aria and I'll show you what I saw."

She took two steps back afraid.

"I don't want to." A tear fell down her cheek.

She didn't want to, her dream had been enough.

She was a reporter, there was supposed to be a rational explanation for everything, scientific explanation.

But nothing about her dream had made sense.

He held her hand and pulled her gently to him.

"I promise no harm will come to you. You have to know I can't bear this on my own. Someone else has to know."

And immediately, Aria felt warmth fill her entire being.

"Don't worry Aria...He's here."

She pulled back from his embrace and nodded looking into his eyes, her heart in her throat.

She placed her second hand in his and closed her eyes...

•••

When she opened them, Aria found herself in front of a very large Castle engulfed in darkness, fire burned everywhere and the air wreaked of sulphur.

She felt fear so intense, she nearly passed out.

But her curiousity as a journalist propelled her forward.

Slowly, she made her way to the Castle and surprisingly the door opened up to her.

She saw a long table that stretched almost to the end of the impossibly big room with chairs arranged both sides.

Aria's eyes widened and her heart almost gave out as she saw demons chatter loudly, there were scores of them.

They came in a forms and sizes but they were all disgustingly hideous.

She saw several terrifying-looking demons taking their seats, they seemed to be very high ranked.

She took a step back frightened at the disturbing sight in front of her.

She felt a hand hold hers suddenly and she jumped.

"I'm right here. Don't be afraid." She saw Bryan by her side staring down at her, a determined look in his eyes.

He turned back to the scene in front of them.

"They can't see or sense us."

They both stood by a corner and watched the entire scene unfold in front of them.

She saw a man enter the room, he looked surprisingly gentle.

But right in front of her, he transformed into a giant hideous demon, much bigger than the rest of the other demons.

Then he was soon followed by another man.

Aria gasped covering her mouth.

She knew this man, he was a very popular politician.

'It was...'

She felt Bryan squeeze her hand but she didn't turn to him.

The two men turned demon sat on the two elevated thrones.

"Silence!" And everywhere was dead quiet.

"As you all know the plan has already been set in motion."

There were grunts of approval among the demons that sat at the table.

"We've successfully been able to cripple the world with the Corona Virus pandemic."

"The world economy has crumbled to dust and the whole world is in a state of pandemonium."

"Now this is where we strike. The 5G will help us usher in a new era."

"A new world order."

"Covertly will plant our ploy into the vaccines they'll start injecting the people with and everyone will be forced to take it."

"And anyone who takes this vaccine is already right in our hands and they'll be ready specimens for the mark of the Beast, my mark."

Aria saw the hideous grin spread on their faces.

"They'll never see it coming."

And the scene blurred into smoke and they were both back in the abandoned house.

She was breathing heavily and she ran to a withered flower pot and emptied all the content of her stomach.

She heard Bryan come behind her and help hold her hair up.

She wiped her mouth with the back of her hand and straightened.

She turned to face him.

Her eyes met his worried ones.

"I'm scared." She whispered and Bryan eyes lowered in understanding.

"I know." He moved closer to her.

"I am too." He held her cheek gently.

Aria let herself be vulnerable with him even though they were broken up.

She melted at his touch and everything else seemed to fade into the background.

After a fleeting moment, she pulled back and stared into his beautiful blue-green eyes.

"We have to tell everyone." She said urgently.

He shook his head, his eyes sad.

"I tried. They all said I was crazy." He sighed taking a few steps away from her.

"Who wouldn't? I mean, it isn't exactly a Hollywood movie you're narrating." He sighed tiredly, defeated.

She felt a pang in her chest.

She'd seen the articles he'd written and she'd even been among those that had criticized him.

Her eyes lowered, she was embarrassed.

Then she looked back up, a determination in her eyes that wasn't quite there before.

"We have to try Bryan."

She placed a comforting hand on his shoulder and he turned to her.

"It'll be okay." She held his hand tightly and gave him a shaky smile.

"I promise."
